Very nice. I assume this is a lily, which I find very difficult to shoot.

Thank you and yes, you assume right. :sillysmi:

VERY nice.

Don't ask why but it makes me hungry so I'm going to have dinner. :scratch:

And thus did we discover that Cloudwalker's diet of choice is tasty flowers.

I have to agree. One heck of a nice shot. Can I bug you about one thing though? Chroma noise; you've got some happening the centre of the image. Noise reduction would help a bunch.

Stunning shot. :clap:

A beautiful photo like this should be in the macro forum.

I was thinking ripple chips! Maybe not for dinner, though. Tasty flowers are probably a better dinner choice. :mrgreen:

Love the photo. Composition wise it's dead on, to me. I agree about some noise reduction. It's particularly distracting behind the sticky uppy things in the middle (What? That's the technical term isn't it?)

I am excited - through TPF I have discovered the next great fad diet from America and I will be the first in the UK with it. I might even publish a book in time for christmas if you could all tell me the details.

Nice pic by the way.
